    'Something definitely brewing' as reports suggest Russia will invade Ukraine on Wednesday

    Talk of Russia invading Ukraine within days is not just US intelligence hype, the Australian government has insisted.

    "Something is definitely brewing," Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said, one day after Prime Minister Scott Morrison ordered the evacuation of the Australian embassy in Kyiv.

    "You don't amass more than 100,000 troops on a border to check out the view or to have a picnic," he said.

    "We're at a very dangerous juncture here."

    The US today updated its estimate for how many Russian forces are now staged near Ukraine's borders to more than 130,000, up from the 100,000 the US has cited publicly in previous weeks.

    Russian forces have surrounded Ukraine on three sides in what the Kremlin insists are military exercises.

    This morning the Associated Press reported that the US had picked up intelligence that Russia is looking at Wednesday as a target date for invasion, according to a US official familiar with the findings.
    The official, who also was not authorised to speak publicly and did so only on condition of anonymity, would not say how definitive the intelligence was.

    Mr Frydenberg said the US was "absolutely not" exaggerating the threat of a Russian invasion.

    "Obviously they are privy to intelligence, they're obviously monitoring troop movements as well," he said.
    "The reverberations will be felt far and wide if, in fact, the Russians do invade."

    The Russians have deployed missile, air, naval and special operations forces, as well as supplies to sustain an invasion.

    This week, Russia moved six amphibious assault ships into the Black Sea, augmenting its capability to land on the coast.

    Just this morning Russia was signaling they should continue engaging in negotiations then they start forming attack positions.

    Never trust the Russians.

    The Russian don't so they need light to launch an attack
